Words to live by during the 2009 Davao Writers Workshop
Macario Tiu- on Specific Particular Experience: The constituency
should become familiar and familiarize your work so that you
will own the piece of art.
- SLOW DOWN
-respect the language that you're writing in
-mas ineffable ang experience pag dili ma read
or maka understand ang readers
-The poem has no metaphor!
- This is so mechanical!
- ilabay sa Bangkerohan river!
Ricardo de Ungria- Images are there but they do not cohere
-Music is there but it is out of place
-Befriend the language
Timothy Montes- This is a writer who has a sophisticated sense
(referring to the author of My So-Called
Glamorous Life as a Freelance writer)
-This is just an essay not a creative non fiction
-This is a diarrhea of words
- I was lost!
- Ang usa ka balak naay human significance
- Complexify your concept!
Marjorie Evasco- on Writing: You have to have that kind of humility
-Whatever you do have to to work
-You have to see it from your ideal readers
- go against the grain, explore shadows, go for the unsayable
-Poetry's language is metaphorical
- You have to know where you're coming from, if it's not familiar to you,
you can't understand it
-pagbasa ug mga balak(poems) nga murag ballad
- you have to create the silences around the word they will configurate
the meaning of meaningfulness
- you cannot hear if there is no silence around it
- I'm not looking for meaning, I'm looking for the meaningfulness
- Keep the very bad work para hindi makalimutan ang mistake
-Break out the forms that you are really familiar with and release the true forms of your life
- A succesful metaphor rises into something else
- Ignorance will not excuse you because you are supposed to know your language
2 endeavored to criticize:
"ilabay sa Bangkerohan river!"
